Peace vigil for people of Gaza

AROUND eighty people of all ages, religions and political persuasions joined together to show solidarity with the suffering of the people in Gaza and to call for both sides to respect international humanitarian law and start talking rather than fighting.

The Saturday vigil was called by Stroud Peace Movement and was supported by many other organisations. A collection was made for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

One of the joint organisers, Martin Whiteside, said: “The suffering of innocent civilians just has to stop.”

Another vigil will be held in the high street again next Saturday, August 2, from 12-1pm. Please bring bring placards expressing your views.
